Pinkfresh Studio - Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember Collaboration

Hello again! I've only got a few more surprises to share with you this month, and today is the next of the Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember Exclusive Collaborations! Today we are featuring the ever lovely designs of Pinkfresh Studio with a gorgeous stamp and die set with a layering stencil to color your image in beautifully! I was so tempted to go with pink or red blooms, but decided to slightly embrace the beginnings of fall with yellow flowers, but still keep the green tones, since summer hasn't fully abandoned most of us yet!


I started off by stamping the main image from Grace and Gratitude, and heat embossing in gold. I then used a mix of SSS inks with the layering stencils to color in - Zest, Honey, Mandarin, Jade, Eucalyptus, and Juniper. I stamped one of the sentiments from the set (love the font on these - as well as the sentiment options!) - and then die cut them all out. I had a leftover frame that was from die cutting an A2 Stitched Rectangle from Sage cardstock that was a perfect pairing, and I used Cream cardstock for the cardbase for some subtle contrast with the white cardstock used for the stamping and stenciling. A few Dazzling Clear gems finish this card off! Here is a closer look at all the details:

Gina K September 2026 Release Cards for Simon Says Stamp

Good morning! This morning I have a few projects to share that I created with the newest Gina K Release that is now available at Simon Says Stamp! I received a few items from the release, and had fun putting these festive cards together - as well as a fun little snowflake ornament! Scroll to the bottom of this post to see all the projects I created in more detail.


I did some stamping, ink blending, stenciling, and of course added lots of sparkly elements.  I used traditional Christmas colors of red and green, and set them off with some Navy and a hint of pink - it was a fun color palette that was so fun! You can find all the supplies linked below, and here are some photos showing more of the details on these cards:

Pink and Main - Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember Collaboration

 Hello again! Popping in today with the next in line of the Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember Exclusive Collaborations! It's hard to believe the month is more than half over! Today's collaboration is with Pink and Main, and is the cutest little holiday sweater set! I had fun pulling out my somewhat neglected Copic markers to color a couple of these cuties up!


I started off by stamping one of the sweaters from Warm and Fuzzy twice in black and clear heat embossing, then coloring those in with Copic markers (colors listed below!). I also stamped a sentiment, then die cut them all out. I stamped that same sweater a couple extra times on a white cardbase to create a fun background, then popped the colored sweaters and sentiment up with foam adhesive. I created a frame with Ivory glitter cardstock and an A2 Stitched Rectangle die, then added a generous sprinkle of coordinating enamel dots to add some extra color. For a final touch of sparkle, I added Nuvo glitter drops to the light bulbs on the sweaters - scroll to the bottom of the post to see how fun that touch is! Here are all the photos of the finished card:

Concord and 9th - Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember Collaboration

Hello again! After a couple days switching it up, I'm back with another of the Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember Exclusive Collaborations! Today is Concord and 9th with a STUNNING layering stamp set that I just love! Using a stamp positioner makes it easy to create multiples by stamping several times when you get each layer lined up. You know how much I love making a set!

I used the lovely Incredibly Grateful layering set to create all of these cards. I grabbed a bunch of inks that felt like a cross between spring and fall - muted, but still happy and bright - and my MISTI, and lined up and stamped each part of the image 3 times on panels of white cardstock. I used Cabbage, Artichoke, Kale, Zest, Salmon, Sky, Violet, Allspice, and Gingerbread. Once they were all done, I cut them out with the coordinating die. The sentiments are kind of genius as well! Those little ones are one stamp image, so I stamped in black ink and clear heat embossed, then die cut out with the one piece die that gives you each of the individual words to build your own sentiments with. Love it so much! The larger "thankful for you" sentiment was also part of the set, and I added it onto one of the cards as well. Here is a closer look at this fun set of cards:

Party Balloons - Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember Feature

 Hello! Today is a special STAMPtember surprise from Simon Says Stamp - and instead of a special collab or huge release, its a special mini release of embossing folders with coordinating stencils (several of them have dies as well), and a FLASH SALE (use COUPON code HURRY to get discount!) on all  of them PLUS previously released embossing folders with stencils! You can find them all tucked into this category HERE if you want to check out the options! I'm using one of the new sets to create this set of birthday cards - can you see the slight difference between them?


I started off by embossing the Party Balloons set on two A2 panels of cardstock, one white, and one in the nice soft pink shade of Seashell cardstock. I misted them with water for a nice deep impression, and let them dry thoroughly before stenciling. I used some ink colors that were on my desk from anther project, and stenciled all the layers with Cabbage, Zest, Salmon, Sky, and Violet inks. I used the Celebrate word die for the focal point, cutting from white glitter cardstock and Honey Gold cardstock, and popping that up with foam. Secondary sentiment is from the Strike up the Fun set! I love all the colorful balloons, and how they look slightly different depending on if they are on white or pink cardstock! Here are more photos:
